Operation and Maintenance Manual XVI
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTD) Use the procedure in the Operation and Maintenance
Manual for cleaning the spark arrester silencer (if
Fire Prevention equipped).
The machines and some attachments have components Figure 1

that are at high temperatures under normal operating
conditions. The primary source of high temperatures is
the engine and exhaust system. The electrical system, if
damaged or incorrectly maintained, can be a source of
arcs or sparks.
Flammable debris (leaves, straw, etc.) must be removed

regularly. If flammable debris is allowed to accumulate, it
can cause a fire hazard. Clean often to avoid this
accumulation. Flammable debris in the engine
compartment is a potential fire hazard.
The spark arrester exhaust system is designed to control

the emission of hot particles from the engine and exhaust
system, but the silencer and the exhaust gases are still
hot.
Do not use the machine where exhaust, arcs, sparks

available from your Bobcat dealer [Figure 1].
The operator cab, engine compartment and engine
cooling system must be inspected every day and
cleaned if necessary to prevent fire hazards and
overheating.
Check all electrical wiring and connections for

damage. Keep the battery terminals clean and tight.
Repair or replace any damaged part.
Check fuel and hydraulic tubes, hoses and fittings for

damage and leakage. Never use open flame or bare
skin to check for leaks. Tighten or replace any parts
that show leakage. Always clean fluid spills. Do not
use petrol or diesel fuel for cleaning parts. Use
commercial nonflammable solvents.
Do not use ethyl spirits or starting fluids on any engine

that has glow plugs. These starting aids can cause
explosion and injure you or onlookers.
Always clean the machine, disconnect the battery, and

disconnect the wiring from the controllers before
welding. Cover rubber hoses, battery and all other
flammable parts. Keep a fire extinguisher near the
machine when welding. Have good ventilation when
grinding or welding painted parts. Wear dust mask
when grinding painted parts. Toxic dust or gas can be
produced.

WARNING
Never modify operator cab by welding, grinding,

The excavator has an operator canopy (ROPS/TOPS -

Roll Over Protective Structure/Tip Over Protective

DAILY INSPECTION
Procedure
Maintenance work must be carried out at regular intervals.

Failure to do so will result in excessive wear and early
failures. The Service Schedule is a guide for correct
maintenance of the Bobcat Excavator. It is located inside
the rear door of the excavator and also in the MACHINE
SIGN TRANSLATION SECTION.
Check the following items before each day of operation:
Operator Canopy or Cab (ROPS/TOPS) and mounting

hardware.
Seat belt and mounting hardware.
Damaged stickers, replace as needed.
Check control console lockout.
Air cleaner and intake hoses/clamps.
Engine oil level and engine for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid level and system for leaks.
Grease all pivot points.
Cylinder and attachment pivot points.
Track tension.
Repair broken and loose parts.
WARNING
Training is necessary before operating or servicing
machine. Read and understand the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, Operators Handbook and signs
(stickers) on machine. Follow warnings and
instructions in the manuals when making repairs,
adjustments or servicing. Check for correct function
after adjustments, repairs or service. Untrained
operators and failure to follow instructions can cause
injury or death.
W-2003-0903
Fluids such as engine oil, hydraulic fluid, coolants, etc.

must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.
Some regulations require that certain spills and leaks on
the ground must be cleaned in a specific manner. See
local regulations for correct disposal.

NOTE: There is a control lock switch in the left

console which deactivates the hydraulic
control levers (joysticks) and the traction drive
system when the control console is raised.
The console must be in the locked down

WARNING
Engines can have hot parts and hot exhaust gas.
Keep flammable material away.
Do not use machines in atmosphere containing
explosive gas.
W-2051-1086
WARNING
When an engine is running in an enclosed area, fresh
air must be added to avoid concentration of exhaust
fumes. If the engine is stationary, vent the exhaust
outside. Exhaust fumes contain odourless, invisible

Use metal loading ramps with a slip resistant surface.
Use ramps that are the correct length and width and can Figure OI-121
support the weight of the machine.
The rear of the trailer must be blocked or supported when

Inspection And Maintenance
WARNING
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt
can cause lack of operator restraint resulting in
serious injury or death.
W-2466-0703
Check the seat belt daily for correct function.
Inspect the seat belt system thoroughly yearly or more

often if the machine is exposed to severe environmental
conditions or applications.
The seat belt system should be repaired or replaced if it

shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant
discolourations due to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun,
dusty/dirty conditions, abrasion to the seat belt webbing,
or damage to the buckle, latch plate, retractor
(if equipped), or hardware.
B-22283
The items below are referenced in [Figure PM-9].
1. Check the seat belt webbing. If the system is equipped

with a retractor, pull the webbing completely out and
inspect the full length of the webbing. Check for cuts,
wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness.
2. Check the buckle and latch for proper function. Make

sure latch plate is not excessively worn, deformed or
buckle is not damaged.
3. Check the retractor web storage device (if equipped)

by extending the seat belt webbing to determine if it
extends and retracts the webbing correctly.
4. Check webbing in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV)

rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original
colour of the webbing in these areas is extremely
faded and / or the webbing is packed with dirt, the
webbing strength may have weakened.

WARRANTY
BOBCAT EXCAVATORS
INGERSOLL RAND INTERNATIONAL warrants to its authorised dealers who in turn warrant to the end-user/owner,
that each new Bobcat excavator will be free from proven defects in material and workmanship for twelve months from
the date of delivery to the end-user/owner or 2000 hours of machine usage, whichever occurs first, with the exception
of tracks which are covered for the same initial period on a pro-rated basis based on the remaining depth of the track
at the time any defect is discovered,
During the warranty period, the authorised selling Bobcat dealer shall repair or replace, at INGERSOLL RAND
INTERNATIONAL's option, without charge for parts, labour and travel time of mechanics, any part of the Bobcat
product which fails because of defects in material and workmanship. The end-user/owner shall provide the
authorised dealer with prompt written notice of the defect and allow reasonable time for replacement or repair.
INGERSOLL RAND INTERNATIONAL may, at its option, request failed parts to be returned to the factory.
Transportation of the Bobcat product to the authorised Bobcat Excavator dealer for warranty work is the
